Emma's 1!

I wrote this post after Emma's birthday, but I guess I was so exhausted that I forgot to actually post it...




Happy 1st Birthday to my precious baby girl, Emma Michelle!!! Emma's birthday was Saturday, but everyone was soooo exhausted from spending the day at the park to celebrate Emma and Jeremiah's birthday that I didn't have the energy to get on the computer & blog.
I can't believe how fast the year went! It seems like just yesterday I was complaining of being extra preggo & wanting to give birth already! haha. I can't believe how fast Emma is growing! I think because there was so much going on with having to raise 2 kids I never had time to anticipate what developmental stage was coming up next for Emma and I was always surprised that they came up so fast!
My Emma is a character just like her brother! I love watching them interact! Emma loves Jeremiah-especially when he's doing something he's not supposed to and it's hard to tell him to stop because Emma enjoys it so much! Jeremiah was the first one ever to get Emma to laugh! They have such a sweet & special bond and I hope they grow up to be best friends! (ya, good luck, huh?! I can dream!)

Our baby boy is 3!

My miracle baby boy is 3 today! I can't believe it! Just typing those first two lines has already made me start tearing up. I literally fall asleep looking at him sleeping every single night and think to myself how blessed I am that Jeremiah is in our lives. Every night I think of how God gave him to us and how he just started out a tiny tiny cell...yes, I do, I literally picture a little cell, dividing and growing bigger and bigger -and then I think about the miracle of life...his life...every single night before I go to sleep. Funny, I know, but that's how I start my prayers of thanking God for my family. When I look at all his pictures in the hospital from 3 years ago, I can't believe how teeny tiny my little boy was! I knew in my heart that Jeremiah would thrive and get stronger every day. I like to think that that was a big reason he did so well - I like to think that my 2lb 10 oz baby boy could feel the extra strength and love that Jenner & I brought with us everyday, just for him. I will never forget how overjoyed I was when I gave birth & they put him on my chest. I felt a love that I had never felt in my whole life and in those few seconds I blocked everyone else out and it was just me and my Miah. My little Jeremiah has, so far, grown into a little character making us laugh every single day. I can't believe how smart he is and am in awe of how he thinks and what he is capable of learning. He is what I've always wanted in a son and more. God has truly blessed us and I can only hope and pray that we will raise him to be an intelligent, loving and caring person.

Happy 3rd Birthday, my Jeremiah!

Mommy loves you! Always.
